[ For whatever reason, Pounce has chosen to make this post while lying on top of a file. It isn't evident from the video whose file it is, though that will become apparent in a moment. It does kind of look like he found it and immediately decided it was a bed, though. ]

I have evidently been entrusted with Arthas' file. Given the circumstances, however, I believe it is safe to assume that I will not be taking the role of his permanent warden. None the less, until I am told otherwise I shall consider myself responsible for him as though I were.

I presume you are still free of the Lich King, Arthas. So long as you do not try my patience I will keep my claws to myself.

He doesn't.

And I just think maybe if they knew what was in his file they could use it to stop him.

[absentconstellation]

It would be no different than if I were to take out your liver and beat you over the head with it.

[tucky]

It's a lot different.

[absentconstellation]

Your liver is just as private and holds just as much poison.

[tucky]

I never did anything like what he did.

[absentconstellation]

Perhaps not in your own opinion.

[tucky]

Do you even know what I'm here for?

[absentconstellation]

I know more than you might think. And I do not share your secrets with my colleagues simply because I can.

[tucky]

... I wouldn't do what he did. I wouldn't ever do that.

[absentconstellation]

Perhaps you would, perhaps you would not. Either way you would be better served in thought over your own actions than in his.

[tucky]

Well, I can't help thinking over his, 'cause they're still all up in my head.

[absentconstellation]

It seems to me that is entirely within your ability to help.

[tucky]

It's still his fucking fault.

[absentconstellation]

Does it help anything, having someone to blame?

[tucky]

You're acting like I don't got reason to blame him, but I do! He did it! He set monsters loose, he trapped Dillon and Simon down on that planet, he killed me, he killed Mason, he did all of it. It was his fault!

[absentconstellation]

I am asking if that is in any way important aside from giving you something to be angry about.

[tucky]

Yes. It is. Because I don't want him doing it again.

[absentconstellation]

He will not. You should put it out of your mind.

[tucky]

You don't know that. I heard he's telling people he will.

It ain't something I can just put out of my mind; it don't work like that.

[absentconstellation]

I do know.

[tucky]

Did he tell you he wouldn't?

[absentconstellation]

I have read his file.

[tucky]

Does it say in his file he does stuff once and then never tries it again?

[absentconstellation]

It says that he is not a fool. Anything further is not your concern.

[tucky]

He made it my concern.
